Yet throughout this period he was maintaining a full teaching commitment in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pieces in \u003ci\u003eAnthropology and Myth\u003c\/i\u003e illustrate (in his own word) ‘the effort, the tentative advances and retreats and now and again the achievements of a thought process during some thirty-two years that amount to a large proportion of an individual life and the span of a generation’. Lévi-Strauss used the lecture theatre as a workshop in which to try out and develop new ideas, and many of the familiar themes of his book will be found here: analysis of myth and ritual, totemism, kinship, marriage social stucture. Offering a unique glimpse of the genesis of such subjects throughout his teaching career, this book provides a sketchbook of the  themes painted elsewhere in larger, more finished form, and thus forms a document of vital importance for the history of anthropological thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTranslator’s Note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col type=\"I\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Field of Research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMythologics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInquiries into Mythology and Ritual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent Controversies and Social Organization and Kinship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClan, Lineage, House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppendix: Nine Course Reports\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChronological Table\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacket illustrations: (Front) \u003ci\u003eThe Jungle\u003c\/i\u003e, 1943, by Wifredo Lam, gouache on paper mounted on canvas. 7’10 1\/4” x 7’6 1\/2” (239.4 x 229.9 cm).
